Improvements to Interior Hotel Spaces and Third Floor Pool Deck and Health Club by Manchester Grand Hyatt

Improvements to Interior Hotel Spaces and Third Floor Pool Deck and Health Club by Manchester Grand Hyatt

The proposed project would involve interior and exterior improvements by Manchester Grand Hyatt in the city of San Diego, California. Work to specifically complete the proposed project is outlined below: Third floor pool deck and health club: The proposed project would involve removing and replacing the existing pool located on the 3rd floor of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, demolition and infill of the 3rd floor jacuzzi and the adjacent bench wall, improvements to the pool deck, removal of cabanas, and renovation of the adjacent health club space. In 2023, the aluminum pool vessel, located southeast of the property’s south tower, reached the end of its operational life, was drained, and decommissioned by the County’s Health Department. Since then, the pool deck area has been closed to hotel guests. Work to specifically complete the proposed pool replacement is outlined as follows: •Like-for-like replacement of the existing 75-foot-long by 25-foot-wide 3rd floor pool. •Cut of existing deck by approximately 2 feet to allow for installation and waterproofing. •Demolition and infill of the adjacent jacuzzi and curved bench wall with concrete to match existing grade. •Removal of existing cabanas and replacement with new moveable furniture. •Installation of radiant heaters. The proposed project would also include renovation of the existing adjacent health club space. The panel system between the pool deck and health club, consisting of non-structural windows and doors, would be modified with the addition of Nana Walls (an accordion-style opening window and wall system) to allow for a larger opening between the interior and exterior space. Work to specifically complete the modifications and improvements to the interior space of the health club is outlined as follows: •Minor improvements to walls including new paint, replacement of wallcoverings, wall finishes, and trim, wood paneling, as well as removal and replacement of non-structural interior walls. •Replacement of flooring, floor drains, tile, and performing floor coring as needed to allow for required plumbing. •Removal and replacement of existing mirrors, shelves, cabinets, food service equipment, audio and lighting controls, light fixtures, wall sconces, and decorative fixtures. •Removal and relocation as well as improvements to the existing beverage and snack bar. •Removal and relocation of existing toilets, showers, and partitions to an adjacent location. To complete the proposed scope of work, contractors would utilize hand power tools, concrete saw cutters, a concrete pump, and welders. During construction, material would be brought in and hauled off using buggies and pallet jacks through the freight elevators. A crane would be required for the pool installation and removal of large debris. The crane would be placed ground-level adjacent to the project area and would avoid impacting pedestrian access. Material laydown would be located in the 3rd floor pool deck and additional construction laydown would be located at the Hotel loading dock if needed. Contractor parking would be onsite at the Hotel loading dock. In the event that the loading dock is temporarily unavailable, the nearby surface parking lot would be utilized for necessary vehicles. 5-15 workers would be onsite daily to perform the proposed construction. Construction of the pool deck and health club portion of the proposed project is anticipated to commence in approximately summer 2025 and would take approximately 4.5 months to complete. Improvements to interior Hotel spaces: The proposed project would also include minor improvements to select interior Hotel spaces near the 3rd floor pool and health spa including meeting rooms, ballrooms, bathrooms, and pre-function spaces. Work to specifically complete the proposed interior-only improvements are listed as follows: •New paint for walls/doors, new vinyl wallcovering, new carpet, and refurbish air walls. •Upgrade sound system. •Select can light replacements, replace existing cove lights in-kind with modernized cove lights, and replace existing pre-function space chandeliers. •Refurbish select elevators. •Replacement of existing chandeliers, and modification of select chandeliers to modernize appearance. •Remove troffer lights and replace with can lights. •Removal and replacement of tile in one pre-function-space location. •Replacement of existing doors with accordion doors in one pre-function-space location. •New paint as well as replacement of vanity tops, mirrors, and backsplashes. The proposed work for the interior Hotel spaces would be phased over an approximate two-year time frame to allow for meeting spaces and ballrooms to remain in use and available for events. The work timeframes would occur approximately during June-August and November-December of 2025, and June-August and November-December of 2026.
